Solo User’s Manual
Solo–Quiet Mini Tower Case
This case is designed with Quiet Computing™ in mind. Apart from the solid steel
construction (1.0 mm think steel), it comes equipped with several unique features
that make this case quiet and cool.
1. Two layer steel with polycarbonate side and top panels to deaden noise
2. Dual hard drive mounting system for maximum noise reduction
3. Quiet 120 mm TriCool™ rear fan
4. Dual front 92 mm fan mounts for spot cooling hard disks
5. Intake vents at sides to reduce the noise
6. Built-in Cable Organizer to keep cables neat
This case does not come with a power supply. Be sure to choose a power supply
appropriate to your motherboard’s requirements. When building a quiet or silent
system please realize that the components you choose will greatly impact the end
result. Solo by itself will not make a loud system quiet. Its design can reduce the
noise emitted by any system, but for a truly Quiet Computing™ experience you
should exercise care in choosing the components used in your system.
Setting Up
1. Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface.
2. Loosen the thumbscrews from the right side panel. Remove it by swinging it
out. Note: Don’t use your fingernail to pry or lift the panels.
3. Inside the case you should see some wiring with marked connectors (USB,
PWR etc.), an installed I/O panel, a power cord, a plastic bag containing more
hardware (screws, brass standoffs, plastic stands, etc.), and six drive rails.
4. There are three plastic tabs on the left side of the bezel. They fasten the front
bezel to the metal chassis. Release the tabs from the top down to release the
bezel.
5. Swing open the bezel and gently lift it upward. The front bezel will come off
easily. Set the bezel aside in a safe place.
